I Wish I Could Leave my House

Well well well, my life since self isolation has been pretty intense. I still have an ear infection, after over two weeks. It hurts a lot and it keeps driving me insane. My phone has been taken away twice now. Our father had to be tested for COVID yesterday because he had a fever for two days but we think he is fine. I learned a lot of new songs on my flute and memorized the chromatic scale. That took me a while but it keeps me entertained. Although we haven't had rehearsals in person, Sydney filmed choreography for the songs and now I can practice "alongside" her. I have to practice in our dining room during one song though because I have to tap. Every time, I feel stressed or annoyed or something like that, I make a kind of complicated art design so I can focus on that and not where our lives are headed. Last night I realized that us eighth graders have one month and twenty-five days left until we "graduate." It sucks. I feel bad for all of the seniors though. They have a month and twenty-six days left but they are missing out on their last activities that they wanted to be in. I'm going to miss the ones in the musical. We were supposed to be having the musical in a couple weeks. I was super excited for tech week. Those are some of the best rehearsals. I was also looking forward to the cast parties. Our director said that it is post-poned but I can't help but think that it'll be cancelled. Just like our track season. Mrs. Martin told me that so far it hasn't been cancelled but my parents told me not to get my hopes up. I don't really blame them. With the way it is going right now, we might not get track this year. Even though it's the only sport I really look forward to. As soon as track is done, I immediately miss it. All I can do is hope. Hope that this will all be over in a month, hope that we still get to have our promotion, hope that the band will play for the seniors as they walk to the stage. Hope that we still have our musical, hope that we still have track.

    Hey!
    I hope your father is doing well, and I hope your ear infection gets better last summer I had tons of ear infections they're awful. I love theater and can imagine how hard this must be for you because tech week is so much fun! My community theater was rehearsing for "Steel Magnolias" but I'm pretty sure it's cancelled now. This year was going to be my first year running track and I was so excited but I'm pretty sure that's cancelled now too. I think it's really cool that you can play the flute, hopefully all this madness ends soon.
    Your friend,
    Genaviene

Introduction

I am a thirteen-year-old, eighth grade female. My name is Alexandria or Lexi or Alex. Most people call me Lexi though. Once, meaning recently, I got asked what kind of furniture I would want to be. Well, I mean, I would love to be a bed. See, I’ve been tested for anemia. Though we believe I have anemia, the test showed I wasn’t. Even though, I’m always cold. In the summer, I wear hoodies. In my heated house, I wear hoodies. I personally want to be a bed because, with this new information I gave you, I would love to be always warm. So, this next paragraph is about family so your probably expect a happy, sappy paragraph and it might be. To start it off, what about what are you most grateful for? I’m not going to lie; I’m most grateful for my family. They shower me with love, though I play it off as annoying. They feed me, they support me, they amuse me. One thing I wish they did more though is give me more privacy. What can money not buy? I think money can’t buy a loving family...

My Passion

“On your marks…” My heart danced while I waited in my starting position. “Get set…” I raised my back. Pop! The gun had shot; my race had started. I pushed myself forward, starting ahead. Easily, I forgot about my worries. I focused on the rhythm of my feet which were light on the ground. I pushed myself harder to keep our second-place spot at the curve. Just after the one-hundred start, I ran as fast as I could. I gained a first-place start for our second runner. “Go,” I yelled signaling our second runner to start so I could hand the baton off. We matched strides and speed. Her left hand went back. The baton, in my right hand, met her left hand and I let go. She ran as fast as she could as I slowed my pace to an eventual stop. When they called the winners, I learned that we had won that race. As a young person, being healthy and staying in shape are always important to me. During track season, and before for a while, I condition. Conditioning not only helps me keep in shape b...

My Three Favorite Pictures

One of my favorite pictures from my walk on Friday October 18th, is this one here. It shows one of the many broken windows where I live. This pictures features the glass in a sharp and jagged pattern. From the angle I took the picture, you can see buckets and broken glass on the floor. You can also see a box overflowing with books on the floor if you look hard enough. I like this picture because of the angles on the glass. This is my second favorite picture from our walk. It shows another broken window but with a beautiful pattern carved almost into the glass.  There is white chipped paint on the window frame. Behind the window, is a wood plank. I think it compliments the white and the lighting in the photo.  I like this picture because it shows a beautiful patterned window and I love little things like that. This is my third favorite picture from our walk. I have always enjoyed playing with shadows and such in photography. My great grandfather sparked the interest; ...
